While I understand the sentiment, I'm not sure I agree with this one. If you just show up every day and go too easy, you're not going to get much out of it. I always think about the people I used to see at the gym (when I actually went to one) that I would see every time I was there, but they were always just walking on the treadmill or chatting with everyone for hours. They were consistent, but they never pushed themselves and I never saw them get better at anything.Consistency beats intensity.
Very true, my issue as an 18yo was killing myself with HIIT wods or home workouts and then doing nothing for a month. I should have taken more note of how fit I was from riding my bike to work every day and applied that towards other aspects of my fitness. Wish I'd read Easy Strength back then too.While I understand the sentiment, I'm not sure I agree with this one. If you just show up every day and go too easy, you're not going to get much out of it.

At the same time, you can't just show up once in a while and kill yourself and think that'll work, but I would take 3 hard 30 minute session a week over 6 1 hr easy sessions any time.
I can relate* rehab the knee and get back on the field
You mean to tell me drinking a ton of preworkout, dry scooping protein powder, and doing as many deadlifts or floppy pull-ups as you can in 2 minutes isn’t the answer?! lol
- Strength is about moving well in challenging ways under load. There are a lot of good reasons to work on it.
- Find something you enjoy doing and pursue it.
- Mainstream fitness does not have the answers.
